Dear Members,

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

So how did Madara...

Can someone refresh my memory here: I watched the recent episode and Madara freed himself from the Edo Tensei. When he did so, it no longer look like he possessed an Edo Tensei body (there were no lines on him). This was also in the manga, It just completely slipped my mind until now:

That is what I was referring too. And yet, we don't see Madara again until he meets up with Tobi on the battlefield, only when he does he suddenly has the Edo Tensei lines on his body again.

I forget, was that ever explained the manga? Or can we chalk that up as a fluke on Kishi's part?

Re: So how did Madara...

Madara release the contract of the original holder of Edo Tensei, Kabuto, to his possession. Kabuto no longer has control over his body. It might be Kishi's mistake.

I understand why he didn't have the Edo Tensei "body" when he broke free of Kabuto's hold, but he suddenly has it back the very next time we see him. And it stays like that until the recent chapter

Back when he was with Nagato and was fighting against Naruto, he had no edo tensei lines on his face. [x].

But later on when he was with Sasuke and they were fighting Kabuto, the edo tensei lines suddenly appeared on his face. [x] This was also the same in the anime by the way.

Edo tensei is really inconsistent for some reason.

Perhaps Kishi was trying to get across that your body temporarily goes back to normal and then gradually turns back into an Edo Tensei body? I dunno, the fact that he did it twice makes it harder for me to believe that it was a mistake. Good find, I forgot about that one too

Ah, it makes alot more sense now. I just thought about it. Think carefully, Itachi and Madara are the only edo who got out of Edo Tensei's control. When Itachi broke out of Edo Tensei control (with the help of Shisui's eye of course) the edo tensei lines were removed, maybe just to hint that he is not being controlled anymore. The same thing must've happened to Madara when he broke out of edo tensei's control. I believe this effect only lasts a short while. That would explain why the edo tensei lines came back onto both edo characters. This is what I've just realized although I could still be wrong.

Re: So how did Madara...

It not not about the face.
Look at the eyes. Kishi mention this from Hinata (when he arrived) & Sakura said when (Minato arrived)
To show you the proof.
Go to any chapters & pages, that show edo people, such as Chp 548, look at Gaara's Father.
Only we assumed that 'crack' face is edo
